Painting showing a group of the giant marine reptile, Ichtyotitan. Like the modern but unrelated whales they rivaled in size, these animals likely migrated to the same shallow seas over millenia to give birth, and there are fossil beds of close relatives that also support this behavior! #paleosky

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:

Our funding depends on usage.

So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

I did all the pixel art Urkels for Urkel Saves Santa, which was kind of a treat but also I never thought that would be a thing I would do.
